One time, I didn't listen to Andrew about a transformer I was 50/50 about buying. He told me that I should buy it then and there, because it would get more expensive by the time I finally got off my duff and bought it.

I didn't listen. I had to pay $25 more for it later than if I had purchased it when he told me to.

G1's and Alternators seem to appreciate over time. I think of it as putting it away in a TF-plasti-crack savings account. If I ever really need the cash, I can unload them on Ebay for more than I originally paid.

Heck...I had a Japanese reissue Megatron #16 in the old school packaging. I bought it for $75. It had a bend in the top card which drove me nuts. I sold it two weeks later for $112.50. I couldn't believe that I had made $37.50 in 14 days. No bank savings account can even come close to that.

In the end...it's whatever I need to tell myself to make myself feel better about spending all insane amounts of $$$ ...completing the TFC 00-20 in under 30 days hurt the savings account big time....but I do sleep better at night knowing they're all there on the shelf
